Most of my relatives remained in the Philadelphia area. I found a partial entry in a family bible that list John Scheetz who is a little bit of a mystery in that there is no record in Philly of his death or listing of his orbit. John SCHEETZ, died June 27, 1895 at age 67 I thought he might be from an outlying county and found an entry in the 1880 Census of Chester county, city of Charlestown, that seems to match his age, and the age of a son. I would like to see if anyone ran across a cemetery plot or orbit for this John Scheetz in Chester county. Thanks, Jim Cullen

Jim....... There is a website called Riggtown that has compiled some of the deaths in Chester Co from 1893-1907. http://courses.wcupa.edu/jones/his480/deaths/rod-s.htm Here is their disclaimer: This file contains a portion of the information stored in the "Register of Deaths for Chester County," volumes 1-3 (1893-1907), located at the Chester County Archives in the Government Services Building, 601 Westtown Road, West Chester PA 19382. The complete set of 26 files represents about seven hundred hours of labor by West Chester University History students and their professor. Their file shows John SHEETZ, Phoenixville, widower, died 6/21/1896 of paralysis after 4 months, age 66. filed in Vol 1 p 237. Was his wife Mary E? There is also Mary E SHEETZ, female, age 59, married died 6/23/1893, Philadelphia, died very sudden in one day..Vol 1 p 228. You can request copies of the deaths certs from the above address. Also at this link, there is a marriage of a Henry W SHEETZ, Upper Uwchlan, on bottom right on 2/14/????, to a Mary E DEERY, dau of Jackson DEERY of Chester Springs. http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~scrapbook/data_pages/p004a.gif Hope this helps....
